Subject: [RFC PATCH] freeze feature ver 1.0
Hi,
This is the rebased freeze feature patch for linux-2.6.25-rc6.
We can take a backup which keeps the filesystem's consistency with it.
I have tested it cooperating with
DRBD (Distributed Replicated Block Device (http://www.drbd.org/))
and made sure that I could take the consistent backup with a short
frozen time (several seconds) while using the filesystem.
The detailed procedure for my test is below.
1. Set up the replication between server A (primary) and
server B (secondary)
2. Make the ext3 filesystem on server A and mount it
(Run Linux kernel compile by 5 threads in parallel on it)
3. Freeze the filesystem on server A to block I/O and
keep the filesystem's consistency
4. Detach the secondary volume on server B
(e.g /sbin/drbdadm detach r0)
5. Unfreeze the filesystem on server A
6. Use the secondary volume on server B
I confirmed the followings.
- fsck didn't report any errors.
- It could be mounted correctly.
- Linux kernel compiles could re-start correctly.
There is no functional change from the previous version.
All of comments from ML have already been reflected in this patch.
The ioctls for the freeze feature are below.
o Freeze the filesystem
int ioctl(int fd, int FIFREEZE, long *timeval)
fd: The file descriptor of the mountpoint
FIFREEZE: request code for the freeze
timeval: the timeout period in seconds
If it's 0 or 1, the timeout isn't set.
This special case of "1" is implemented to keep
the compatibility with XFS applications.
Return value: 0 if the operation succeeds. Otherwise, -1
o Reset the timeout period
This is useful for the application to set the timeval more accurately.
For example, the freezer resets the timeval to 10 seconds every 5
seconds. In this approach, even if the freezer causes a deadlock
by accessing the frozen filesystem, it will be solved by the timeout
in 10 seconds and the freezer can recognize that at the next reset
of timeval.
int ioctl(int fd, int FIFREEZE_RESET_TIMEOUT, long *timeval)
fd:file descriptor of mountpoint
FIFREEZE_RESET_TIMEOUT: request code for reset of timeout period
timeval: new timeout period in seconds
Return value: 0 if the operation succeeds. Otherwise, -1
Error number: If the filesystem has already been unfrozen,
errno is set to EINVAL.
o Unfreeze the filesystem
int ioctl(int fd, int FITHAW, long *timeval)
fd: The file descriptor of the mountpoint
FITHAW: request code for unfreeze
timeval: Ignored
Return value: 0 if the operation succeeds. Otherwise, -1
Any comments are very welcome.
Cheers, Takashi
